Annals of a Statistical Analyst

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." - Unknown

The following annals are my attempt to make life easier for you and other (beginner) statisticians. Feel free to email me questions and I will post my responds here. I will also post tips regularly. Hopefully by the end of all of this, you will have a better understanding of R, SAS, and Statistics. Questions can be emailed to Derrick Lee, PhD Candidate, at: d dot lee at stat dot ubc dot ca.

Day 2 of the Ramp-up course available

I have posted videos corresponding to Day 2 of the ramp-up course for R and SAS.

The videos cover how to manipulate and extract data in R (3 videos) and SAS (1 video). They cover various commands in R, including attach(), $, coordinates and matrix properties, sort(), order(), subset(), and boolean statements; and in SAS as well, including PROC PRINT, PROC SORT, and SET in DATA steps. Hopefully the videos are clear (resolution wise) and comprehensive enough. If I have left out anything please message me about it. The other 3 videos can be found here:

First set of SAS videos are up and running

The first set of SAS videos relating to the ramp-up course are online. You can find the appropriate ones through the labels to your right or reading the description in the video on the YouTube channel. The first video is about getting familiar with the SAS GUI (Graphical User Interface)

while the other videos cover the Basic functions in SAS and How to read in datasets using the DATA step and using PROC PRINT. Hopefully the videos are clear (resolution wise) and comprehensive enough. If I have left out anything please message me about it.
